At a full Cabinet meeting on 5th April 2011, St Albans City and District Council debated, and fully endorsed, the Foundation’s proposal for a statue of Samuel Ryder to be erected in the very heart of the city. This is to be the first phase of the implementation of a Heritage Sculpture Trail, to be used as a way of raising the profile of art, culture and heritage in the city.
The St Albans Review said today:
“The £150,000 project, which will be funded by the Samuel Ryder Foundation, earned the enthusiastic backing of cabinet members at a meeting last night after they viewed a slick promotional video in which leading figures form the world of golf (including commentator Peter Alliss and former US Masters champion Ben Crenshaw) gave their backing to a ‘fitting tribute’ for a remarkable man”.
We warmly welcome this decision. The ball is now very firmly our court to raise the necessary funding for this major project to commemorate a man whose name is so widely known throughout the world.
